The Philippines hadnly one death — a Chinese worker freshly arrived from China. Tehran, in the Middke East, was and is cold. Singapore and Hong Kong have plentiful air conditioning where the virus can be carried from person to person on fanned, cool air.
Is it just a coincidence that hot countries that are too poor to have widespread air conditioning have had almost no cases of the corona virus? These poor countries are often densely populated with poor health practices and no travel bans. Many are next to or near China and have more Chinese per capita traveling there than most other countries that have been infected. Yet they have had almost no cases.
The outbreaks have occurred either in cool places with temperatures in the 40s Fahrenheit (we haven’t seen it in very cold, freezing temperatures) or in hot areas that are more prosperous and are heavily air conditioned.
Here in Seattle, the corona virus epicenter of the United States, the cherry trees will blossom in the next couple of weeks. I am sure the virus will dissipate in April as temperatures ease into the 50s and above.
Calm down. Things will be just fine very soon.

I believe what is actually going on in the Philippines, rather than spokesman for Duterte who is just a Communist Chinese tool of the Communist butcher Xi Jinping.
He fought the DOH when this first hit the Philippines and delayed the banning of flights from Communist China. He ordered that flights from Taiwan be banned for a week for political reasons to please Xi again.
He called out both the Government of Cebu and the Mayor of Cebu as being xenophobic and racist when they wanted to ban Communist Chinese flights from MCIA in Cebu
He continued to allow flights from Xiamen Air from Communist China into Davao, well after the supposed banning of flights
The DOH requested on February 23 to declare a Code Red emergency in the country. Maybe Monday he will approve it.
Lots of articles and posts on Facebook from friends and relatives in Cainta, Tagiug, Cebu about what is really going on there.
